Vol. 13, no. 29

Hi,

During covid-19, I plan to continue Documentary Heritage News as usual. I also decided that I will update daily the list I sent on Monday (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZVUfmCdVEsTbA93kdlQBxi7LGyjLKiG2swAVpICa5ew/edit?usp=sharing ) as I see many people sharing ideas that may be useful to our work during the pandemic. Your suggestions are also welcome.

Bonjour,

Durant le covid-19, je planifie continuer les Nouvelles du patrimoine documentaire comme à l’habitude. J’ai aussi décidé que je vais mettre à jour quotidiennement la liste que j’ai envoyée lundi (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZVUfmCdVEsTbA93kdlQBxi7LGyjLKiG2swAVpICa5ew/edit?usp=sharing ) comme je vois plusieurs personnes partager des idées qui peuvent être utiles à notre travail durant la pandémie. Vos suggestions sont également bienvenues.
